Scenario 2: Proactive

Proactive Development Policies with Private Conservation

Scenario 2 simulates the effect of 'proactive' changes in both land use and conservation policy. A modest increase in urban densities is simulated where county planners have identified potential transit-oriented development zones. Green infrastructure identified as UF CLIP 3.0's top priority is systematically protected. Conservation uses the same prioritization as scenario 1, but with a modest increase in spatial extent thanks to a shift to more private lands-oriented conservation mechanisms.

Land Use Policy Changes

Modest densification of current development (1/3 reduction in lower-density types)

Infill of county priority transit-oriented development areas at recommended densities

Green infrastructure excluded from development, based on CLIP3.1 first priority areas
